Collapse AllThis method provides pattern control of dashes and gaps.
Examples of line dash patterns:
|
Dash string |

Description |
|
"[] 0" |
|
No dash, solid line. |
|
"[3] 0" |
|
3 units on, 3 off, ... |
|
"[2] 1" |
|
1 on, 2 off, 2 on, 2 off, ... |
|
"[2 1] 0" |
|
2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 1 off, ... |
|
"[3 5] 6" |
|
2 off, 3 on, 5 off, 3 on, 5 off, ... |

Syntax| HRESULT SetLineDash ( BSTR dashString ) |
RemarksThe line dash pattern controls the pattern of dashes and gaps used to stroke paths. Before beginning to stroke a path, the dash array is cycled through, adding up the lengths of dashes and gaps. When the accumulated length equals the value specified by the dash phase, stroking of the path begins, using the dash array in a cycle from that point forward.
To reset the dash pattern use:
SetLineDash("[] 0");
Example{ PDF object is supposed to be created }
PDF.SetLineWidth(2);
PDF.SetLineDash('[8 5 11 3] 7');
PDF.MoveTo(10, 10);
PDF.DrawLineTo(110, 10);
PDF.Stroke;
PDF.SetLineDash('[] 0');
PDF.MoveTo(10, 15);
PDF.DrawLineTo(110, 15);
PDF.Stroke;
PDF.SaveToFile('test.pdf', true);
// PDF object is supposed to be created
